1. Field of the Present Invention

The present invention relates in general to a polymerizable monomer and a liquid crystal material, and more particularly to a polymerizable monomer and a liquid crystal material adapted to a display panel.

2. Description of the Related Art

Liquid crystal display (LCD) panels, having the features of lightweight, thinness, low power consumption and low radiation, have been widely used in commercial and consumer electronic products, and has gradually replaced the conventional cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors. LCD panels are superior to the conventional cathode ray tube monitors in terms of power consumption, luminance and contrast, but are still slightly inferior to the conventional CRT monitors in terms of response time.

In recent years, a new alignment technology, that is, a polymer-stabilizing alignment (PSA) technology, is provided. According to the PSA technology, polymerizable monomers are mixed in a liquid crystal layer, and after the polymerizable monomers are arranged, an energy source (such as a UV light or a heating source) is applied thereto for polymerizing the polymerizable monomers into a polymer film, which guides the arrangement of the liquid crystal compounds in the LCD panel. Despite the PSA technology can conveniently form a polymer film facilitating the alignment of liquid crystal molecules, the performance of the polymer film in the alignment of liquid crystal molecules still needs to be improved.

Application of Polymerizable Monomer

The present invention provides a polymerizable monomer adapted to the polymer-stabilizing alignment (PSA) technology which dopes the polymerizable monomer in a liquid crystal material for manufacturing a display panel. When adapted to the PSA technology, various liquid crystal molecules can be added to the polymerizable monomer of the present invention to form different liquid crystal materials. A number of embodiments are disclosed below for detailed descriptions of the composition and ratios of liquid crystal materials. The liquid crystal material provided in the present invention has lower rotational viscosity (γ¹) and thus has lower drag force during rotation than that of the conventional liquid crystal material. In addition, the liquid crystal material provided in the present invention requires less UV light dose for polymerization than that of the concentional liquid crystal material. Thus, the display panel using the liquid crystal material of the present invention is advantaged with lower manufacturing cost and faster response. One skilled in the art would understand that the polymerizable monomer of the present invention can also be mixed with other liquid crystal molecules to form various liquid crystal materials, and is not limited to the exemplifications of the present invention.

In the present embodiment of the present invention, the liquid crystal material includes many liquid crystal molecules and the said polymerizable monomer. The many liquid crystal molecules include a first liquid crystal molecule, a second liquid crystal molecule and a third liquid crystal molecule. The first liquid crystal molecule is selected from at least one of the compound 1-1 and the compound 1-2 which are respectively represented as the following chemical formulas:

The second liquid crystal molecules is selected from at least one of the compound 2-1 and the compound 2-2 which are respectively represented as the following chemical reaction formulas:

The third liquid crystal molecules is selected from at least one of the compound 3-1 and the compound 3-2 which are respectively represented as the following chemical reaction formulas:

“R¹” and “R⁵” are independently an alkyl with 1˜8 carbon atoms or an alkenyl with 2˜8 carbon atoms. “R²” and “R⁶” are independently an alkyl with 1˜8 carbon atoms or an alkoxy with 1˜7 carbon atoms. “R³” is an alkyl with 1˜8 carbon atoms or an alkoxy with 2˜8 carbon atoms. “R⁴” is an alkyl with 1˜8 carbon atoms, an alkoxy with 2˜8 carbon atoms, or an alkoxy with 1˜7 carbon atoms.

“Z¹” is a single bond, ethyl (—C₂H₄—) or methyoxy (—CH₂O—). “Z²” is a single bond, ethyl (—C₂H₄—), methyoxy (—CH₂O—) or caroboxyl (—COO—). “Z³” is a single bond, ethyl (—C₂H₄—), difluoromethoxy (—CF₂O—), difluoropropoxy (—OCF₂C₂H₄—), or ethyl carbonyl (—C₂H₄COO—). “Z⁴” is a single bond, ethyl (—C₂H₄—), difluoromethoxy (—CF₂O—), or difluoropropoxy (—OCF₂C₂H₄—).

are independently 1,4-cyclohexylene, or 1,4-phenylene.

In “X¹” and “X²”, one is a fluorine atom, and the other is a chlorine atom.

The three compounds are mixed at the following ratios: the weight of the first compound preferably is about 30% to about 70% of the total weight of the liquid crystal material, the weight of the second compound is about 10% to about 50% of the total weight of the liquid crystal material, and the weight of the third compound is about 20% to about 60% of the total weight of the liquid crystal material. After the liquid crystal materials are uniformly mixed, a polymerizable monomer is added thereto. The doping weight of the polymerizable monomer is about 0.1% to about 10%, preferably about 0.1% to about 0.3%, of the total weight of the above liquid crystal materials. The liquid crystal material with the above composition and ratios can be directly adapted to a display panel.

Referring to FIG. 1, the composition and the ratios of a liquid crystal material according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention are shown. The liquid crystal material of the present embodiment is based on the following composition: about 10.8% is the first compound 1-2, about 21.3% is the second compound 2-1, about 5.8% is the second compound 2-2, about 25.7% is the third compound 3-1 and about 36.4% is the third compound 3-2. Lastly, the compound H (that is, the polymerizable monomer of the eighth embodiment) whose weight is about 0.3% of the total weight of the above liquid crystal material is added. The comparison between the liquid crystal material after mixture and a conventional liquid crystal material is illustrated in FIG. 2. The comparison shows that the two liquid crystal materials are similar in terms of nematic-isotropic phase-transition temperature (Tni), optical anisotropy, and dielectric anisotropy, so the liquid crystal material of the present embodiment of the present invention can be directly adapted to the existing manufacturing process or specifications of display panel. However, the two liquid crystal materials have huge difference in terms of rotational viscosity (γ¹). The rotational viscosity of the liquid crystal material of the present embodiment of the present invention is merely 67 mPa*s, much lower than that of the conventional liquid crystal material, 90 mPa*s. This implies the drag force of the liquid crystal material of the present embodiment during rotation is small, and thus the response time is reduced.

Besides, when the ratio of liquid crystal molecule changes, the characteristics of the liquid crystal material, such as rotational viscosity and/or nematic-isotropic phase-transition temperature directly affecting the response time and/or operation temperature of a display panel, can be adjusted accordingly. Thus, makers can work out an optimum liquid crystal material according to product designs or customer demands. For example, by reducing the ratio of the second compound and increasing the ratios of the first compound and the third compound, the nematic-isotropic phase-transition temperature of the liquid crystal material can be increased.

The liquid crystal material preferably of the present embodiment of the present invention includes a polymerization initiator whose weight is below about 0.002% of the total weight of the liquid crystal material. The polymerization initiator has strong reactivity, and thus can facilitate the polymerizable monomer distributed over the liquid crystal molecule to start polymerization reaction when energy (such as a heat source or a light source) is provided thereto.

After the mixture of liquid crystal material is completed, the liquid crystal material is disposed between two substrates, and then a voltage is applied to the two substrates for facilitating the arrangement of polymerizable monomer as the liquid crystal molecules rotate. At the same time, an energy source (such as a UV light or a heat source) is applied for facilitating the polymerizable monomers to be polymerized into a polymer film at a particular tilt angle. Even in the absence of voltage, the polymer film still can guide the arrangement of the liquid crystal molecules of a display panel. The manufacturing of display panel is thus completed. The polymerizable monomer of the present invention can be polymerized into polymer with less UV light dose, hence reducing the manufacturing cost.

FIG. 3 shows a side view of a display panel according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The display panel 100 using the above liquid crystal material includes an upper substrate 110, a lower substrate 120 and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the two substrates. The liquid crystal layer includes liquid crystal molecules 135 and a polymer film 145. The polymer film 145 is formed by a plurality of polymerizable monomers polymerized on the surface of at least one of the upper substrate 110 or the lower substrate 120 through the PSA technology, and is used for guiding the arrangement of the liquid crystal molecules 135 and generating a pre-tilt angle from the two substrates. Preferably, the average coarseness on the surface of the polymer film 145 approximately ranges between 10 nm to 20 nm. The display panel manufacturing according to the above method has a shorter response time, implying that the polymer film of the display panel has better performance in alignment. The results of a number of experiments are illustrated below.

Test of Response Time of Display Panel:

A number of experiment groups are disclosed below for more detailed descriptions of the composition and the UV light radiation dose of the liquid crystal material. After a display panel is manufactured according to the above composition and radiation dose, the response time of the display panel is tested for the comparison of performance between the conventional material and the liquid crystal material of the present invention.

In all groups, the composition and ratios of liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal material are the same. The composition and ratios are as follows: about 10.8% is the first compound 1-2, about 21.3% is the second compound 2-1, about 5.8% is the second compound 2-2, about 25.7% is the third compound 3-1, about 36.4% is the third compound 3-2 and the polymerizable monomer is about 0.3% of the total weight of the liquid crystal material. However, each group has respective polymerizable monomer. Group 1 is a contrast group and includes the conventional monomer; groups 2-3 include the polymerizable monomer of the eighth embodiment, that is, the compound H. Under the same experimental conditions, the liquid crystal material of each group is disposed between two substrates, and then a voltage and a UV light are applied for the polymerizable monomer to be polymerized. A larger UV light radiation dose, that is, 10200 mJ, is applied to groups 1-2, and a lower UV light radiation dose, that is, 7650 mJ, is applied to group 3. The experimental parameters of each group are summarized in Table 1.

TABLE 1 Experimental Conditions Liquid Crystal Polymerizable UV Light Radiation Group Molecules Monomer Dose (mJ) 1 Same Conventional 10200 Monomer 2 Same Compound H 10200 3 Same Compound H 7650

After the display panel is manufactured, response time test is performed on the display panel for each group. Under different driving voltages, the required response time (T_(on)) for the liquid crystal compound to be rotated to a predetermined position from an initial position is illustrated in FIG. 4. The coordinate axis at the left-hand side denotes the UV light radiation dose, and the coordinate axis at the right-hand side denotes the response time. The comparison between group 1 (contrast group) and group 2 shows that the UV light radiation dose for both groups is the same, but the response time for group 1 and group 2 are about 33.3 mS and about 7.8 mS, respectively. That is, suppose all the conditions of the manufacturing process remain unchanged for each group, the response rate of the display panel will be increased by about 77% as the monomer of the liquid crystal material is replaced with the polymerizable monomer of the third embodiment of the present invention. Such experimental result shows that the hard core structure of the polymerizable monomer of the present invention has tiny dihedral angle, so the polymerizable monomer has excellent performance in the arrangement and the alignment of liquid crystal molecules and largely increases the response rate of display panel.

Group 2 and group 3 have the same composition of liquid crystal material but are different in the UV light radiation dose, and the comparison between group 2 and group 3 shows that the response time of display panel for group 2 and group 3 are about 7.8 mS and about 7.6 mS, respectively. That is, despite the UV light radiation dose is reduced by about 25%, the manufactured display panel still remain the same response rate. Such experimental result shows that the polymerizable monomer of present invention requires less UV light radiation dose for perfect polymerization than the conventional monomer. As a consequence, the manufacturing time is shorted and energy consumption is reduced.

Accordingly, the polymerizable monomer of the eighth embodiment of the present invention requires less UV light radiation dose for polymerization, and the display panel using the same has shorter response time and faster response rate. Thus, the polymerizable monomer of the eighth embodiment of the present invention not only reduces the manufacturing cost but also increase the response rate of display panel.

The polymerizable monomer, the liquid crystal material and the display panel disclosed in the above embodiments of the present invention have the following advantages:

Firstly, the polymerizable monomer of the present invention requires less UV light radiation dose for polymerization. Despite the UV light dose is reduced by about 25%, the response rate of display panel still remains the same which implies that the required UV light radiation dose can be further reduced, and accordingly, the manufacturing time can be shortened, and the power consumption and the manufacturing cost can also be reduced.

Secondly, the polymerizable monomer has excellent performance in alignment. In the light of structure, the hard core structure of the polymerizable monomer of the present invention has tiny dihedral angle. The experimental result shows that the response rate of the display panel will be increased by about 77% as the monomer of the liquid crystal material is replaced with the polymerizable monomer of the third embodiment of the present invention. Thus, the polymerizable monomer of the present invention has excellent performance in the arrangement and the alignment of liquid crystal molecules and largely increases the response rate of display panel.

Thirdly, the liquid crystal material has small rotational viscosity. The experimental result shows that the liquid crystal material of the preferred embodiment of the present invention has small rotational viscosity which implies the drag force of the liquid crystal material during rotation is small, and thus the response time of the of display panel is reduced.
